St. Joseph Island Tractor Trot

Anyone going to the St. Joseph Island Tractor Trot parade and pancake breakfast on Saturday July first?

Got the Ford ready to go. Just got dates on two other shows also in the Algoma District here.

The Prince Township Tractor Cruise on August 7th.

And the Laird Classic Car and Tractor Show on August 20th.

Well was just out in a thunder storm getting truck and trailer washed before the parade tomorrow.
I don't care if I'm the only one that shows up if the weather is horrible.....I'm unloading and going for a tractor drive! LOL

One more step closer!

Weather turned out beautiful for the parade yesterday! And the Ford ran and drove absolutely perfect! Such a comfortable tractor to cruise with. Surprisingly it drew a LOT of attention.

Unlike a lot of the shows in the US, this one isn't all perfectly restored show tractors. There are a few, but most here are all working tractors. Many leave their work in the field just before the parade, show up covered in mud and manure, then go right back to work.

Thanks Oldballs. I sure am. I love my old tractors compared to the new ones. The looks, the sound, the feel.
I wish there were more shows and tractor rides close by.
I don't even drive my truck when I'm home. Anywhere I go in my rural township I drive one of my tractors, LOL


The next one I am going to on August 7th should be real fun. It's a pretty long ride.
